Helpful Hints And Tips - IKEA GENOMFRYSA Handbuch

ENGLISH
Note:
• Always leave hot food to cool before
placing in the freezer.
• Use fully or partially defrosted foods
immediately. Do not refreeze unless
the food is cooked after it has thawed.
Once cooked, the thawed food can be
refrozen.
Freezing and storing fresh food
• Place foods to be frozen in the two
upper baskets.
• When the freezer is used without the
rack, place the ice packs above the
food to be frozen at the front of the top
drawer.
Removing the baskets
Pull the drawers out as far as they go, then
lift slightly and remove. Pull the lower basket
out fully, then rotate it slightly in order to
remove.
Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than
necessary.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and
exhaust at the appliance base and at
the back wall of the appliance. Never
cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the
appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on
the rating plate.
Note: The freezer can also be used without
the upper drawers, in order to maximise
space. For correct operation of the freezer
compartment the bottom drawer should not
be removed.
Ensure that after placing the food on the
racks, the freezer door closes properly.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube tray up to 2/3 with water
and place in the freezer compartment. Do
not use sharp or pointed objects to detach
the tray.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours.
No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period.
• Freeze only top quality, fresh and
thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen
and to make it possible subsequently to
thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil
or polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to
touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the
latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life
of food.
• Water ices, if consumed immediately
